#1 Now we find out that China cut oil exports to Nkors in September to zero. Brought Kimmie right around. Of course, incessant talking to this dimwit is totally worthless.

#2 So does this mean Peace in our Time and all that other good shit?

#3 We should say no aid until we come to certain basic terms and then spend months haggling over the shape of the table.

#4 Far be it from me, a Lowly Lurker, to cast dispersions on The Lord of the 'Burg, His Fredness, but someone will no doubt observe this article was posted about four articles earlier.

Please, Sir, have one of your able assistants remove my earlier post and do not punish me too harshly for my indiscretion.

{Sorry, Fred, yours has a better picture, anyway!)

#6 I think Bobby has been taking lessons at the TW School of Ironic Self-Deprecation. LOL

Good job, both of you!

#8 IIRC Bobby had some links to San Diego, my hometown, that puts him back in the "suspect" range :-)

#9 I think somebody needs to watch the movie "Porkchop Hill" a few dozen times and pay attention to the negotiations scenes and what's being said by the actors there.

It paints a real clear picture of what these talks are all about from the NorKie perspective IMO.

(For those who haven't seen the movie - or can't or won't for some reason, while Gregory Peck and the boys of Love Company are duking it out toe-to-toe with the Norkies and Chinese on some stupid nameless ridge, negotiations are going on at Panmunjom (sorry about the spelling) - in one scene the US negotiator gets exasperated at the commie negotiators and has to take a break before he kills somebody (the communists negotiator is smoking a cigarette and staring up at the ceiling - clearly not listening to a word the US negotiator is saying) - there's a great scene where an American general explains to him exactly what the commies are trying to do - stall for time in order to gain a victory and an upper hand in the negotiations).
